Revelation 1:9-20

Through the story of John's vision of the Risen Jesus while he was exiled on the island of Patmos we are reminded of the important realities of life as a Christian in this world. Though we experience trials, troubles and tribulations in life because we belong to Christ, we need to remember that Jesus stands victorious over death and the forces of evil. We need to remember that Jesus holds the keys to our eternal destiny. We need to be encouraged to patiently endure all things. For if we will endure, we will reign with Christ in the end.
